I will open the discussion for you guys. So if anyone including fellow staffers has issues with this please let me know. And again keep spoilers in the spoilers board as of now no info about TBR should be posted outside of the specified thread.
BB

If BR is stuck in the spoiler board, what about WAT and FBM?

If laws allow it, maybe we need new policies that have adapted to current technology. Let's face it- gone are the days when something becomes public by airing on cable tv (at least in this fandom). All this pretending new episodes still air for the first time on tv is pointless all around... unless copyright laws demand it.

I think we should give it a day or two after now. It's a reasonable time to have seen the DVDs.

There's no reason for the admins to keep pushing this "temporary amnesia" thing further than the release date of the video.

The problem is that since DH is hosted on Proboards, we can be shut down far more easily than other Avatar forums over any copyright laws. We can't risk that. It's interesting because I know an Avatar forum hosted on Proboards that allowed episode discussions, and for a while, download links for episodes, and online videos. It's not a shabby 50 members forum either. It wasn't shut down, and it never received any warning from Proboards. Have you guys received any notification, warning concerning this type of issue? I know there was a problem with -13yo members, but that's another pudding.

As for WAT and TFM discussion, I'm not sure yet. You guys should be able to discuss them freely in all boards soon, you've all waited so long. I don't like it either. Like Nymphadora said, we may have to wait a few days/a week. I really don't know the rules about this, either. Isn't that a little backwards though? To be able to discuss TBR before WAT or FBM?

I know there was a problem with -13yo members, but that's another pudding. That's a 50-member forum compared to a 5,000-member forum. We're bigger and more noticeable, and we know Viacom/Nick knows about us... I agree and I'm sick and tired of having to repeat this over and over again. DH is surely one of the top five Avatar communities. We Along with ASN and a few others are the main sites for Avatar related discussion. We also as has been mentioned have a few avatar staffers, sifu kisiu (sp) and Irohs new Voice acter Greg Baldwin and possible others who roam the forum. We would like make sure we keep a good realtionship with nick and make these people feel welcome here. Not to mention that we are one of the bigger proboards sites we take up like 5 plus percent of sever 31. And as many may remember the staff was contacted about underage members by proboards staff. And I just want to let everyone know that they didn't ask us to remove those members there was pretty much no asking involved, they told us to remove them. Proboards could and would drop us like nothing flat if nick felt the need to contact them about it. Now would this likely ever happen? No it wouldn't. But I would rather be safe and respectful and still have a forum to post on. Then have DH ripped out from under our feet. The staff shouldn't have to keep repeating ourselves. We will let you all know if you can discuss the eps on the main boards in do time until then you will have to discuss the eps only in the spoilers board. This should be the last time this has to be said.

Okay, so if legally, the DVD's are out and people are watching/buying them, shouldn't we LEGALLY be allowed to discuss them all over?
I'm not too sure how many people are really going to wait for Nick to start airing them in July...'cept maybe kiddies who don't have access to the internet XD

As I've said the staff will have a ruling soon on if you will be able to discuss things outside of the spoilers board or not. Hopefully we will have made the decision by the end of this week.

At this point a person waiting till July to watch the episode is a very conscious decision to ignore the episode's existence on DVD and the internet. Therefore it is barely any different from a person not watching any other episode when it first airs. And as always, we will not go out of our way for the benefit of people who miss an episode. It is their decision to not watch the episode, and as always they should be ready to deal with spoilers or stay off the internet.
